You have good taste in watches and cars Red. Too bad Scandinavia is pretty far from Missouri. I've been checking mobile.de and the prices of low mileage GTS's have increased a lot in Germany. They're very sought after now. $40K Euros isn't rare for a 1995 model with very low mileage and good service history. You can find a good and clean S4 for roughly $15K Euros. That's what I'm looking for, not interested in re-sprayed junk that you can find for $10K. I love automatic transmission on a GT tourer like 928 and the S4 performance is enough for me. S4 was able to outperform all 911 models every year back in its production run. 911 Turbo had quicker 0-60 mph though.

Thanks P. I've been reading a lot and I've learned that 968 is a fantastic car. CS models are very desirable but pretty tough to find, and they go for premium prices. But in the end, there is no substitute to 928 and the V8 in my eyes. That exhaust sound... you know... It's just the looks of the "Shark". I don't know how to explain it, really... 928 just speaks to me. I don't like big butts on ladies but it's a different matter with cars. The left one is GTS by the way... this was the 928 model that was able to outperform Ferrari Testarossa. Both on the 0-100 km/h and on track.

I have now decided to go with the 928. It's the car I always wanted anyway. I'm going to a test drive next Sunday (928 S4 Automatic). The same guy owns a '90 911, it's for sale too but I'm not too crazy about 911. It's too mundane... kinda like Rolex Submariner. Here's some random 928 eye candy (from the Internet) for you.

B01 today.

Amazing pair! Both are very classy and elegant. That Oysterdate dial is beautiful!

Sub day.

SMP Chrono!

GMT.

THIS was my Tudor Snowflake. Nothing compared to the great frankens that Ubi and others build, but it was probably the first ever Tudor Sub replica in the forums.

Here's how the replica WHS movement works (in comparison).

Yeah. To not buy a GMT watch (replica or genuine). That's how all GMT watches work.

GMT hand moves twice as slowly as the main hour hand, because the hour markers for it are on the bezel, not on the dial.

B01 today.

Favorite blue!

Indeed. That makes it even crazier that there isn't a decent replica. The only difference on the gen 1675 is that the 24h hand isn't adjustable. You operate the GMT function from the bezel only. Killing the adjustability function on reps isn't a big deal though.

That Aquagraph is NICE.

That's the new Breitling PlasticFish X-minus.

Thanks to Drhulee for the link. http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Catalogs/

I just put this on. Great watch!

Thanks for the Rennlist link. I think I'll be reading some of that tomorrow. Hmm... maybe 911 isn't completely out of question. Maybe I'll send you some questions when I'm actually purchasing one. Thanks for the offer. PS: How do the Porsche enthusiasts see the 968? Does it have a good reputation?

I have my Mercedes E200 Kompressor 2006 as a company car. It's a very, very good car but it bores me to tears. I want to have some fun... and think I want a Porsche (an used one of course). 911 is very cool but I can't help it but it always gives me a bit of that "little boy, big engine" impression... just like the Beemers. It's bit of a "in your face" car... you know what I mean... and I don't want that. I absolutely love the 928 but I'm not sure how expensive and difficult the maintenance would be. 968 is another model that I really, really like. I always thought this one of the most beautiful cars ever made. 968 is a lot alike. Which one would you prefer... and does anyone know about the maintenance cost/parts supply in Europe? I'd like to own one of these permanently... for good. Something that I would only drive in the summer. I have a garage for a car at my summer cottage already. Which, in your opinion, has more potential to become a classic... and how do the Porsche enthusiasts see these two models? 928 was actually the top model of Porsche and at one time (1989) 928 GTS was the fastest street car in the world. 928 would be my choice without any hesitation, but I wonder if more modern construction in 968 would be less risky purchase and cheaper maintenance wise? Thanks.

That IS nice. How much does the gen cost?

This deserves a bump as there was talk about this model in another forum. I still believe an A21J version with frozen stopwatch w/ 7750 case would be a great seller.

Now that was an...
